<<< From the Lady in Lavender - Back in Dec'05

I got this kiddish composition of mine from one of my dear frens who preserved it with great care...Just tells how excited I used to get for every simple thing around me. After reading this, my love for the color can be best seen and probably explains the reason for choosing the same color for my space too...;);) Though things haven't changed much even now, I think I am a little more matured and subdued now :-) So here you go...!!!

" A late morning !!! Today, me in a great mood to drop into ur cube with all smiles....:-)))
The reason though is v simple for my enerygy and happiness...Any guesses...he he he ...No no.....Put a break to ur thoughts....I wore a new dress today....ha ha ha
The most awaited "Lavender outfit".......;)))It might be a very trivial thing which anyone of us would have done on any other day. But theres a hilarious story behind it. Got some mood to write. So heres how the story went.....;)))

Last saturday, bored in life I stepped out of my home and roamed in and around my palce when I saw a Lavender cloloured dress material hanging in a shop. That triggered my love for lavender which dates back to college days when I almost had 7 dresses in Lavender to exhaust my week.....;))))So with no second thoughts, I grabbed that piece which happens to be the last one in that shop....How lucky.....!!!;)) I could not even wait until it gets stiched. So the action item for the week was to get it stitched at the earliest.
Monday, I went to my tailor, cooked up a story that I have to wear it for a function coming up on wednesday and asked to keep it ready by tuesday evening. He said he would try.......Huh!! But that was more than enuf for me to keep me going for the next day.
Tuesday came and I went running.....Alas!!! It was not even cut .So after a series of warnings and threats I left the tailor passing an ultimatum to get it done by wednesday evening. With a lil disappointment wednesday went but then I consoled myself by wearing another favorite outfit in my wardrobe. I was waiting for the evening to come to collect the dress and get ready for the great "dress rehearsal"......ha ha ha ha
It was 8 in the night....I went to that shop straight.......
But nothing seemed to be right...As the "Dupatta" was lost......
Controlling my anger , I asked whats next???

He apologised and told that he had sent it to another tailor for finishings and that guy had left for the day. But he promosed me that he would get me at the earliest , the next day morning by 9:30 am. So I decided to go late for work for the love I had for "Lavender" and told that he would be murdered if he wudnt make it. I worked late and exhausted myself last night doing some work, slept late so that I would wake up late in the morning and find an excuse for staying back at home, get my duppatta thereby escaping from my guilt of not turning upto office in time( haha ha .......So much thought process went into it...can u believe????;))))

Atlast the time came when i had to go and collect it. I was at his doorstep when he remembered that he had to get the dupatta from the other tailor. At that moment, my anger was at the peak and I thought I would land my fist right on his nose but thought would give him one last chance else would loose the chance to get my dress...;)) So just blasted him left and right and said I wud come back by 10:00. When I went back......ohhh no!!!! I had to see the same JUNK face with not much progress. All disappointed in life I thought today is not my day and was about to leave when the guy who was sent came back with my Dupatta.
So the disappointment was at once turned into excitement, All my frowns to smiles. That was the happiest moment ......Yepp.....Yepp.....All set in Lavender I started to work and am here mailing to glory.Some one did rightly say....." Its the simple things in life that fill us wth Joy...."

So that was the Saga of the Lady in Lavender in Good old exhuberant days!!
